What is face lifting operation?

Face lifting operation is a surgical operation to eliminate sagging around face and neck skin that occurs due to various reasons. Old age, gravity and environmental factors may cause skin to lose elasticity as well as wrinkles and sagging. All these negative effects as well as fat accumulation around chin and deformed chin line can be solved with face lift. Known as “Rhytidectomy”, this operation is often applied to patients over 40 years old. When this operation is conducted on skins that lost elasticity, success rates are higher. This operation is completed in sterile hospital environment like many other operations.

After applying general anaesthesia, face skin is lifted with surgical cut. Soft tissue that causes sagging are hanged with special sutures and subcutaneous tissue is supported. Excessive skin is removed. If needed, this operation can be combined with neck lifting and eye lid operation. Scar of this operation will be hidden inside hair skin so there will be no problem regarding the scar. Sutures are removed 1 week after the surgery. There may be numbness for couple of weeks. This is perfectly normal and this numbness will decrease over time.
